The Simplicity of Cider by Amy Reichert was the perfect fall read. Set in Door County, Wisconsin, described as a small town where everyone knows your name, and business. Idun’s Orchard ran by Einar Lund and his daughter Sanna, 5th generation apple growers, is the center of the story. Amy Reichert does such a fantastic jobContinue reading “The Simplicity of Cider: Review”

The Kennedy Debutante: Review
I’ve been a Kennedy fan for as far back as I can remember. I don’t know if it’s because their life is so different than mine or whether it is because there is always something new to learn and a new relationship to explore. I love historical fiction and more than that I love historicalContinue reading “The Kennedy Debutante: Review”
Everything, Everything
Wow, wow, wow. I felt so many emotions during this read. I identified with each of the main characters and could feel for them as well as withthem. Imagine being a teenage girl trapped in a sterile house with just your mother, a nurse, the occasional tutor. No friends, certainly no boyfriend. No prom, orContinue reading “Everything, Everything”
A Promise Stitched in Time: Book Review
I requested A Promise Stitched in Time because I’m preparing to teach a WW2 study and hoped this would be a good addition to our read alouds for that unit. I would gladly add this to my lineup. The content is mature in nature in the sense that the holocaust is a mature subject regardless of theContinue reading “A Promise Stitched in Time: Book Review”

Secrets of the south? Yes please! The Dying of the Light by Robert Goolrick was a great read from the beginning. I love historical fiction and suspense and this book combined those genres perfectly.

When God Gave Us Words: Review
When God Gave Us Words by Sandy Eisenburg Sasso was a beautiful book! The illustrations by Darcy Day Zoells were stunning. I read this with my 7 and 10 year old kiddos and they both stayed engaged and asked to look at the pictures a little longer. God always has our best interest in heartContinue reading “When God Gave Us Words: Review”

Trouble Brewing: A Review
I write this review with coffee in hand and sleepy eyes because I pulled a very late night to finish this gem! From the first few words I was hooked. It normally takes me a few chapters to get into the grove but I was invested in Piper and Blake from the very beginning. TroubleContinue reading “Trouble Brewing: A Review”
